I need to know the processing time for 2 qt. jars of tomatoes. My old Kerr canning book (1960) had this in it, but not the later ones. I also need to know the amount of time adjusted for altitude. I am about 5,000 ft. I haven't been able to find this in the Ball canning book. I would appreciate the information.

My books only have directions for pints and quarts. I have lots of the old half-gallon jars, but have never canned in them. You can still buy the half gallon jars. The Ball company has a wonderful website; they make the Kerr jars too.
I'd suggest that you get on the site ( www.freshpreserving.com/ ) and e-mail the company with the question. Lehman's is a company that sells to the Amish. They sell lots of large sized jars. While I've not been to their site in quite a while, I'm sure they'd be a wonderful source. Best of luck.
